Downhill Run
By Chris Williams
Not far now
Coupla hours
Can’t go soon enough for me
Jeeze I’m tired
Wouldn’t mind a drink or something to kick me along
A pill?
No…not now
Steppin’ out like a show-pony already
Not far now
Coupla hours
Doing it legal too…that’s a bloody switch
Jeeze me back aches
The old cot’s gunna feel good tonight
Maybe a good soak in the tub first
Yeah…good soak
Coupla coldies
Not far now
Coupla hours
Home soon
Watch a bit of telly with the missus
She’ll rave on about shopping
And her mum rang up
And mum said this, and the missus said that and her bloody mum
Said so an’ so and the bloody kids are fighting over the telly
And a man’ll go off his head if I don’t get some bloody PEACE
Not far now
Coupla hours
Have a cup of coffee at the terminal
Might crack a load out tonight…need the brass
Gotta get lucky sometime
Give the missus a ring
Try and call in next trip.
